note 20915 added to ref.strings

This is a more compact function to get a numeric adjective. No idea if it's faster than the other "nth" function here (though probably is, since "th" is more likely to occur), but the code is definitely shorter. Assumes integer input. Returns a string. function getNth ($n) { $qn = (int) (($n%100) / 10); $rn = $n % 10; $suffix = "th"; if ($qn != 1) { switch ($rn) { case 1: $suffix = "st"; break; case 2: $suffix = "nd"; break; case 3: $suffix = "rd"; break; } } return $n . $suffix; } -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.strings.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+20915 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+20915 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+20915
